`timer-max-repeats' is the "maximum number of times to repeat a timer, if real time jumps". Hence, there is an upper bound on the number of times such timer run.
The doc string says this applies when real time "jumps", such as when Emacs was suspended. Looking at the code, I think that `timer-max-repeats' applies equally when Emacs failed to run the timer because it was busy. Could someone verify that is true? _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
